Pistons to practice on Thanksgiving

AUBURN HILLS -- While you're in the middle of your second helping of mashed potatoes, or digging into that third plate of turkey and stuffing, you'll be happy to know your going-to-work Detroit Pistons will be just that, at work.

Pistons coach Michael Curry said the team will practice on Thanksgiving, regardless of the outcome in tonight's game. The only thing not determined yet is the time.

"For me, we're sort of in training camp mode," Curry said. "I can't give them as many days off as I was once going to give. When guys dedicated themselves this summer, and the training camp we had, we were set up to have certain days off. Tomorrow was going to be an off day, but we can't give them tomorrow off because we have a lot of work to continue to do."
